Maintenance-as needed
Use the following suggestions about cleaning
and lint removal to maintain your dryer and
keep it operating efl iciently.
Cleaning a clogged lint screen
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can
cause a residue build-up on the lint screen. A
clogged lint screen can extend drying times.
Clean the lint screen every six months or more
frequently if it becomes clogged due to a
residue build-up. Use the following method:
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid
detergent.
3. Scrub lint soreen with the brush until all
residue build-up is removed.
4. Rinse with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean
towel and replace in dryer.
Cleaning the dryer interior
Garments which contain unstable dyes, such
as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton
items, may discolor the dryer interior. If you
want to remove stains from dryer drum, use
powdered laundry detergent.
1. Make a paste with detergent and very warm
water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth and scrub area
until all excess dye is removed.
3. wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of rags to dry.
Cleaning the dryer exterior
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Removing accumulated lint
Lint oan gather inside the dryer and be a fuel
for fire. It is recommended that lint be removed
every 2 to 3 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a
qualified person. If you have any questions,

This section reviews proper drying techniques, gives you additional drying information, and
discusses causes or solutions to common drying problems.
Before you dry
Before using your dryer, see page 3 for
Important Safety Information.
Drying tips
l
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items. Remove
pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the
dryer drum. Remove heat-
ensitive trim that can
y drying.
l
Check gaments to make sure all spots and
stains were removed during the wash. If
stains were not removed, do not tumble dry.
Heat may permanently set stain. Soiled items
can also leave stains on the dryer drum.
These stains can be picked up by other items
in the load.
l
Sharp or metal objects can damage your
dryer. Check pockets for pins,
clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.,
and turn pockets inside out. Do
not lay these objects on your
dryer after emptying pockets.
l
Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
l
Turn lint takers and dark items inside out to
help prevent lint pickup.
l
Place small items such as baby socks or
hankies in a mesh bag for easier removal.
l
Articles to be ironed should be removed from
the dryer while still damp.
Sorting
l
Separate dark from light colors; colorfast
from noncolorfast. Items properly
sorted for washing are usually
properly sorted for drying.
Separate heavy fabrics (denim,
towels) from light fabrics (syn-
thetics, permanent press).
l
Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from
lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent
press). When possible, turn lint takers inside
out.
Load sizes
@Mix large items with smaller items. Load the
dryer by the amount of space
items take up, not by their
weight. Do not overload the
dryer. Overcrowding causes
uneven drying and wrinkling, and
can cause items to wear out faster (because
of pilling).
l
You may need to rearrange large items
(sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during a cycle
to reduce balling or rolling up.
l
Reduce wrinkling of permanent press and
synthetics by drying smaller loads and
removing items from the dryer as soon as
tumbling stops.
l
For better tumbling action when drying only a
few small items, add one or two lint-free
towels. This also prevents small, lightweight
items from blocking airflow.

Drying special-care items
Most garments and household textiles have care labels with laundering instructions. Always follow
label directions when they are available. General drying instructions for some special washables
are included in this section.

loads. See “Cleaning the dryer interior” on pages 9 and 10.
Towels
Select cyde according to fabric type. Some towels, particularly those
made of a blend of synthetic fibers and natural fibers (polyester and
cotton blends), may shed more lint than other towels causing your dryer’s
lint screen to get full faster. Be sure to remove lint from the dryer lint
screen before and after drying new towels.
Washable knlts
Do not overdry knits. Overdrying can cause shrinking and static cling.
1. Select cycle according to fabric and construction.
2. Turn synthetics and blends inside out when drying to avoid pilling.
3. Remove cotton and rayon knits while still slightly damp. Stretch into
shape and lay flat to finish drying.
14
Using dryer fabric softeners
Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for
reducing static cling (static can also be re-
duced by not overdrying) and for softening
fabrics. Always follow package instructions
carefully.
l
Put fabric softener sheet on top of the load
before starting the dryer. Do not add a
fabric softener sheet attu the cycle has
started. Instant heat can cause the fabric
softener to spot fabrics.
l
Clear, grease-like spots can result from the
fabric softener sheet becoming tangled in an
item during tumbling. If fabric softener
causes a stain, wet the stain and rub with
liquid detergent or bar soap, rewash.
l
Some fabric softeners can clog the lint
screen and slow drying. Use fabric softeners
labeled as dryer safe.
Saving energy
l
Dry only full loads without overdrying.
l
Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to
a partly dried load, or opening the door
unnecessarily.
l
Plan your laundry to dry one load after
another. A warm dryer shortens drying time.
l
Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer
properly and cleaning exhaust duct as
needed.
-Keep the lint screen clean.
- Use your dryer in a room where room air
temperature is above 45°F (7°C).
-Sort loads by fabric weight and type.
Vacation care
1. Unplug power supply cord or turn off
electrical power supply.
2. Clean lint screen.
Voltage requirements

PROBLEM CHECK IF
CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
shrlnklng Items are overdried
Remove items while there is still a trace
of moisture. Some items should be
removed while damp, then shaped and
alr dried.
Fabric type and quality is
suitable for drying
Some knits are stretched during manufac-
turfng. Washing and drying returns them
to the original size. This is normal. Check
quality of garment before buying. Follow
fabric care label directions carefully.
Slow drying There is a large amount of
moisture in the load to be
dried
Some items hold more moisture than
others (cottons more than polyester).
They take longer to dry. Full loads take
longer to dry than small loads of the same
fabric.
Cofd rinse water is used
A load rinsed in cofd water will take
slightly longer to dry than a warm one.
Cold rinses, however, help save energy
and reduce wrinkling more than warm
rinses do.
Room air temperature is
below 45°F (7°C)
Install dryer in a room where the air
temperature is warmer than 45°F (7°C).
Cold air increases drying time and may
cause wrinkles not to be removed.
Dryer is exhausted according
to Installation Instructions
Lint screen is full
Install and exhaust your dryer according
to the Installation Instructions provided.
Clean lint screen before or after
each use.
Exhaust duct or outside
exhaust hood is clogged
